Peer Review eNews

When CIMRO’s clients need more than a written report, they request visits from the peer reviewers themselves. These PRs provide proctoring and mentorship to the clients’ practitioners. In return, the PRs gain knowledge and networking that assist them in their own practices.

CIMRO’s growth in the medical peer review community has resulted in the expansion of our on-site peer review product line, increasing our demand for PRs willing to visit our clients – virtually or in person. The role of mentors/proctors is described below:

Mentoring is carried out through remote means, such as telephonic or visual communication (e.g., webcam). The goal is to provide a practitioner with advice on how to improve clinical decision making skills.

Proctoring is accomplished through direct, on-site observation to evaluate a practitioner’s competency to carry out cognitive and procedural clinical care.

PRs that would excel at mentoring or on-site proctoring include those who enjoy:

Teaching

Learning / Staying updated on current guidelines

Networking / Strengthening their CVs

Potential travel

Other ideal candidates include practitioners who would use mentoring/proctoring as a bridge to an alternative use of their expertise (e.g., those with extensive experience who are looking to cut back on full-time practice).​If you are interested in performing Proctoring or Mentoring Reviews, email peerreview@cimro.com.
